Perl is alive!
Last time I checked Slashdot still runs on perl...
My company does too.

Submission + - Open Letter To Jobs: Please Build The Missing Mac
fragermk writes: An Open Letter To Steve Jobs: Please Build The Missing Mac has been getting a lot of attention and positive response from Digg. Is there a missing Mac?

The prolific company will inherit its own SEO company called Performics after purchasing the online advertising giant DoubleClick on April 13th. With the purchase of a search engine marketing company such as Performics, Google is put into the conflicted position of trying to generate profits by providing result-oriented organic ranking services for its own "unbiased" organic search results. Altough Google could run Performics completely above board, without any advantage whatsoever there is unfortunately no one to police them. I, for one, am certainly not comfortable with Google policing itself."
